Celebrity Skin: Inside the Playboy Mansion

GameSpy: None of you do your own voices in the game, and since it's not an action game, there was no motion capture needed. So what did you end up doing in the game?

Melissa Joan Hart: It was actually quite an interesting process. They had me fill out these forms where they asked me things about my personality, how I wanted to look in the game, stuff like that. So I got to say if I wanted to be curvy or skinny, what kind of attitude I wanted to have. You got to chose two personality traits, so I said I wanted to be enthusiastic and not dominating, but something about being a little bossy. They also asked if I wanted to be topless, or if I wanted to have sex with other people, and I wasn't up for that. I was up for jumping on the trampoline, that was about it. Oh, and smoking a cigar.

David Baksh: They also gave us a sheet with all the different clothes you could pick, so we went through that and made ourselves. Though I had to call my wife and ask her what I look like since I wasn't really sure. And she told me I have large muscles a huge penis.

GameSpy: Had any of you been involved in a video game before?

Andrew WK: I've had the pleasure and good fortune of being involved in a couple video games. Our music has been in some games, I was unlockable character in Madden 2003, and I was also a regular character in Backyard Wrestling 2. I've always liked games, but I've never been good in them, so I figure that my best shot at being good at them is being in one.

GameSpy: Have any of you seen how your characters look in the game?

Andrew WK: Yeah, I have. I thought it was pretty good. In Backyard Wrestling 2, they based my character on all these photos we took specifically for the game. And I had low expectations for how it was going to look, but the people at Eidos really blew my mind because it really looked like me. With the Playboy game, they're also using photos of me, though not ones they took specifically for the game, so it still looks pretty good. Then again, as long as you see a dude with greasy long hair and white clothes, that's close enough.
